EditWhat is the maximum level skills can reach? Some skill levels appear to cross 100.

EditWhy don't I have a follower? Is it because my last follower is dead or because I haven't completed a quest?

While both of those things are possible reasons to not be able to have followers, sometimes the game can get bugged and all followers you approach will say "Looks like you've already got someone." There is a fix for this if you have completed the Dark Brotherhood Questline and have upgraded the Dawnstar Sanctuary. If you head to the Sanctuary and attack an initiate to the point where they will attach you back, and then pay the fine to Nazir, you will be able to pick up followers again.

After you defeat the Dragon near Whiterun, the Jarl will reward you with the title of Thane and allow you to purchase a home in the city. Speak to the steward. He will sell you a key to the home for 5000 gold. See: Houses.

Your home is called Breezehome. It's located between Warmaiden's and Belethor's General Goods and across from The Drunken Huntsman. Walking straight on the path from the main gate, Breezehome is the second building on the right.

In response to a tweet about whether or not Skyrim would support same-sex marriage, suggesting "the subject seems hush hush," Peter Hines, VP of Bethesda PR, wrote, "Not hush hush, just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone."

Naturally, Bethesda will release a Collector's Edition of Skyrim alongside the standard version. The Collector's Edition includes a 12" statue of a dragon, an art book, a "making of" DVD and a large, cloth map of Skyrim's world. The Collector's Edition will be available for $149.99 in the US.
